  5. Repeat this process for any additional agents.
  6. Once all agents have been added, click Done.

Edit an Agent's Settings

To edit the settings of existing agents:

  1. Hover over an agent, and then click the mceclip20.png icon at the far right of the window.
  2. Adjust the settings in the Edit Agents menu as needed.
  3. Once the changes have been made, click Save Agent.

Delete Agents

To delete an existing agent:

  1. Hover over an agent, and then click the mceclip21.png icon at the far right of the window.
  2. When a confirmation prompt appears, click Yes to delete the agent or No to retain it.
  3. When you finish deleting agents, click Done.

Convert Agents

Using the Convert Agents button can save some time switching an agent from ringing by Phone to ringing as a User like so:

You will notice that in the images above, after converting the agents to Users from Phones, the system removed the web phone (101wp) since 101 will simultaneously ring their web phone now.

Troubleshooting Tip

If you are having issues converting the phones to users, check to make sure the phones that are not converting do not have “#NAME” in their user information as it will not work. You will need to update that user's profile and replace “#NAME” with anything you want without special characters.

Checking the Status of Agents


The color-coded status (person icon) will change color depending on the User's status:

  • Green = available
  • Gray = offline
  • Red = on a call
